Which Mattress Size Is Right For You?

Did you know the average person moves more than 40 times a night, including a dozen full body turns? If you choose a mattress that’s too small, you’re going to alternate between trading groggy elbows with your partner and rolling off onto the floor. To ensure you don’t waste your precious beauty rest, here’s a breakdown of your mattress options…

Twin Size Mattresses

Let’s start small and work our way up. Who needs a twin mattress? Usually, it’s for either small people (think kids) or for small spaces (think college dorms or New York City apartments). Twin mattress dimensions clock in at 38 inches wide by 75 inches long, making it the smallest mattress size available that isn’t intended to be in a crib. Although twin-sized beds can make a great “first” bed for children transitioning out of cribs, many parents are choosing to transition straight to a queen-size mattress to give their child more room to grow – and offer an easy place for mom and dad to lay for bedtime stories!

Full Size Mattresses

Are you thinking about a full mattress? These are also 75 inches long — the same length as a twin — but a full-sized mattress is 52 inches wide, an extra 15 inches compared to a twin. This size mattress typically doesn’t work well for most couples since it leaves only 27 inches of personal space per sleeper – that’s less sleep space than a crib!

Queen Size Mattresses

What about a queen mattress? At 60 inches wide and 80 inches long, it is roomier than a full mattress. Queen size mattresses are a good fit for master bedrooms that are designed to hold larger beds. This size is a typical choice for a first mattress for a couple, particularly couples who don’t mind snugging as the sleeping space per person is actually smaller than a twin size bed (30″ x 80″ vs. 38″ x 75″). Also, many single folks who just want to be able to spread out at night choose a queen size mattress.

King Size Mattresses

Have you thought about a king mattress? A king mattress feature the same length as a queen-sized mattress, but with a whopping 76 inches of width, you can easily stretch out during the night without disturbing your sleep partner. As the biggest mattress size, the King allows for maximum sleeping space and even extra room for a kid (or two), the family pet, a wayward neighbor and whoever else you want to squeeze in. If you are looking for additional length, the California king mattress shaves off 4 inches in width and adds 4 inches in length. This makes for a bed that’s a total of 7 feet long for taller individuals.

Don’t Forget the Room!

The challenge, of course, is fit. Make sure the mattress you choose fills out your space — after all, it’s not called a BEDroom for nothing. Size does matter when it comes to what bed is best for you.
